          color: Colors.black,
          fontSize: 16,
        ),

        tags: [ // contains your tags, you can define as many as you want !
          TagHighlight(
            tagName: "bold", // the name of the tag above.
            textStyle: TextStyle( // the style of "World"
              fontWeight: FontWeight.w900,
              color: Colors.redAccent,

          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

WARNING : Does not support quotation marks ("") inside a tag. Ih there are quotation marks, the tag will be ignored. More generally, if the tag is ignored, it's because there is a character inside the tag that is not supported (the French accented letters are supported).
